ing' had therein to the accompanying draw- This invention relates to a measurin mold and particularly to a construction t er'eof comprising a casing and adjustable plunger therein. I

The invention has for an object to provide a novel and improved construction of the plunger and stem thereof together with a atch disposed upon the-casing and adapted V tobe operated by a finger of the user 0 the mold when fiaspmg the handle carried by the stem of t e plunger.

Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter set forth measur' and the novel features thereof defined by the ap ended claims.

n the drawing Figure 1 is a perspectiveof the mold; Fig. 2 a vertical section thereof, Fig. 3 across section on the line 33 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 a detail perspective of the plun er removed.

' e numerals of reference refer to like parts in the several figures of the drawing.

The numeral 1 designates the casing which.

ma be of any desired confi ation, refery The head of this casing 1s provided with a collar 3 extending above the same and preferably of rectagular form. This collar su ports a laterally disposed latch bolt 4 an a casing 5 extended to the opposite side of the collarfromthe latch and carrying the push rod 6 connected to the latch by the ent portion 7L The. latch is held in looking position by the coil-spring 8 disposed within the casing 5 and 'earmg against the head 9 on the push rod, as shown 111 Fig. 3. Within the casing 1 a plunger 10 is posed and has perforations 11 therethrough and a central socket 12 to which the stem 13 is connected; This stemis referably rec tangular to-closely fit the co ar and is provided upon one face with the a ertured plate 14 through which t e latch passes. he upper end of the stem is provide'd with a handle 15 and a stop plate '16 secured thereto to engage the topofthe collar when the plunger is at the limit of its out- Specification of Letters Patent.- Application filed my as, Serial No. mm.

ward travel to eject the contents of tin mold, as shown in 2.-

In the operation of the invention the plunger is set for the meas' of the desired weight or quantity of the utter, lard or other material to be sold, and the o n end of the mold is forced downward into t e body of such material, thus the mold. The

I delivering the molded material in a very convenient form for wra vor other ac The construction of t :a :llar'antl siiem ifdgmit the mold to be bodily turned by the handle on the stem when it is forced into or withdrawn from a body of material and the disposition of the push rod of the latch is such that it can be operated by the finger of the hand of the user which grasps the handle and leaves the other hand free to hold the casing of th?1 mold whichhis necess wlhen adjustt e p er t erein or. "c argmg' the c c i iltents t l i d efrom. The. plunger can be thus quickly and readily moved to vary the capaclty of the mold to deliver any desired weight of material. This construction forms a simple," cheaply constructed and very-eificient measuring mold.

Having described my invention and set forth its merits what I claim and desire to secure by Letters .Patent is- 1. A measuring mold comprising a cutter body provided with a collar at its u per end, an ad'usta unger therein provid ed Withastem a aunitary' 0 crating. handle for the mold ody and p unger, a laterally disposed latch casing upon said collar, and a spring push latch within said casing having ahead at one end of the collar and a bolt at the o osite side thereof seated in the stem to hol it against movement in either direction. I

2. A measuring mold comprising acutter body provided with a collar at its u er and, an ad ustable plunger therein provi ed with a stem havingg'aunitary operatin handle for the-mold ody and plunger, a%aterall disposed latch casing upon said collar, a pus latch within said casing'having at one end a head and at its opposite end a parallel bolt centrallyl d slsposed extended through the collar and seated in.

said stem to hold it against movement in either direction, and a sp within the casing and bearing against sai head.

3. A measurin mold comprising a cutter at its opposite end disposed in said socket to body provided with a collar at its upper end, seat in an aperture of said plate, and a spring an ad ustable plunger therein having a stem 'within the casing and bearing against sai with a unitar operating handle thereon for head.
